I have an input DC signal voltage 0V to 6.5V that need to be scale up to DC voltage 0V to 10V. Any advise what type of circuit that I should use?.

1\$\begingroup\$ How about an opamp with approx. 1.5 times amplification? The setup depends on your signal source and what it is connected to. \$\endgroup\$– Dejvid_no1Commented Oct 5, 2015 at 8:13

1\$\begingroup\$ Is this a signal or are you trying to provide 10V power from 6.5V? What power supplies do you have available? \$\endgroup\$– Olin LathropCommented Oct 5, 2015 at 11:14

\$\begingroup\$ Hi Olin Lathrop this only a for signal application. \$\endgroup\$– FairusCommented Oct 7, 2015 at 5:53

An amplifier, with a gain of 1.53 (10/6.5) you can make this using an op-amp IC and a few resistors.
There is a tutorial on using op-amps here.
The circuit you need would be:

1\$\begingroup\$ How about using values that are actually available in the shop? When looking at E24 values 30 and 56 are closest (0.18%, which is much better than the tolerance of the components which is usually 1 or 2%). When looking at regular E12 resistors 12/22 or 18/33 are closest (both at 0.46% error for components with 5% tolerance). \$\endgroup\$– jippieCommented Oct 5, 2015 at 15:29

\$\begingroup\$ 5.3k can be made from 5.1k and 2 100R values in series. \$\endgroup\$– IcyCommented Oct 5, 2015 at 21:23

\$\begingroup\$ Yeah, but nobody does that in anything resembling production. Insertion cost, board space etc. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Oct 7, 2015 at 4:31

\$\begingroup\$ Agreed but using preferred values would not have improved the clarity of the answer \$\endgroup\$– IcyCommented Oct 7, 2015 at 5:21
